Abstract
The current research demonstrates how hermeneutics as an approach can be significant in teaching
literary courses to develop cultural awareness on the part of EFL learners .Using a qualitative
content analysis enables us to analyze the novel of "Things Fall Apart" written by CHINUA
ACHEBE in the light of the hermeneutical principles. The results of the research revealed that the
hermeneutical principles have an active role in raising intercultural understanding while teaching
literary products with different cultural backgrounds. Since our analysis shows a strong
relationship between including hermeneutics in teaching literary courses and developing the
students’ intercultural communication, we conclude that teachers should rely on such approaches
because of their importance and effectiveness in teaching literature.
